The Ricoh InnoAI Strategy is built on a four-pillar framework: Center + Platform + Co-Creation + Ecosystem, forming a comprehensive AI innovation and commercialization ecosystem. The four key components include:
- InnoAI Center: A physical co-creation space located at Cyberport, providing developers, startups, and enterprise clients with a collaborative environment and sandbox for AI development and application.
- InnoAI Hub: A RAG-based knowledge management platform developed by Ricoh, enabling enterprises to build AI agents (e.g., for marketing or financial analysis) using their own uploaded data and documents. It also supports low-code development to streamline AI process management.
- InnoAI Co-Creation: Expert-led collaboration services from Ricoh to help enterprises transform AI technologies into tangible business outcomes—realizing "AI to Business."
- InnoAI Program: A comprehensive accelerator program offering funding, technology, sales, and marketing resources to help partners grow rapidly.
Mr. Ricky Chong, Managing Director of Ricoh Hong Kong, stated the Ricoh InnoAI Strategy is a forward-looking and holistic AI innovation framework. By integrating a physical center, a knowledge platform, co-creation support, and an ecosystem approach, we aim to connect local innovation with APAC markets. Our goal is to drive AI from R&D to commercialization and build a powerful AI ecosystem that positions Hong Kong as a regional innovation hub.
Ms. Georgina Chu, Chief Corporate Development Officer of Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, added the Ricoh InnoAI Center injects powerful momentum into Cyberport's AI and blockchain ecosystem. We are delighted to witness Ricoh's forward-looking InnoAI strategy being implemented in Hong Kong.

This not only accelerates the intelligent upgrade of local industries but also empowers startups to expand into international markets, propelling Hong Kong toward its goal of becoming a global hub for AI and innovation.
